IN a dazzling display of pink and excitement, the much-anticipated Barbie movie took centre stage last Thursday night at the highest theatre in Australia, the Mt Buller Cinema. Nestled among the breathtaking peaks of the Victorian Alps, the cinema transformed into a whimsical pink wonderland as moviegoers adorned themselves in resplendent shades of Barbie's signature colour.

The air was alive with excitement (which manifested as falling snow) as patrons greeted each other with “Hi, Barbie!” when walking into the packed, 180-seat cinema for the premiere.

Attendees embraced the theme with unbridled enthusiasm, showcasing an impressive array of pink-infused attire that ranged from fuchsia to flamingo and even bubblegum.

The stunning visual spectacle was enhanced by the altitude creating an immersive experience that transported the audience right into Barbie's universe.

Because every day on Mt Buller is amazing, just like Barbie says: “It was the best day ever. So was yesterday, and so is tomorrow, and every day from now until forever.”

Perhaps Barbie isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay, because Mt Buller Cinema is playing all the blockbusters, including Oppenheimer and the new Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One.

Now there’s a change of tune for the audience.

The night came to a close with a burst of applause and a renewed sense of nostalgia for the iconic doll that has captured hearts for generations. As attendees made their way home, they carried with them the memories of an unforgettable night that blended the magic of cinema with the enchantment of Barbie's pink-hued world.

The Barbie movie premiere at Mt Buller Cinema will undoubtedly be remembered as a whimsical extravaganza that lifted spirits proving once again that in the world of cinema, and Mt Buller, dreams do come true. Thank you to Mt Buller Cinema and all who attended for such a wonderful night.

And, thank you, Barbie.
